BayCare is proud to announce that it has earned the prestigious 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces award for the third straight year. The award honors organizations across the nation with 150 or more employees that have created exceptional, people‑first cultures.
“This recognition means a great deal to me because it comes directly from our team members,” said Stephanie Conners, President and CEO of BayCare. “Thank you to everyone who took the time to share candid feedback. Your voice helps shape who we are — and it reinforces the culture of care and excellence you create every day. When our people feel supported and have room to grow, it strengthens our teams, our patients’ experience and the impact we make across our communities.”
The winners are determined by authentic employee feedback captured through a confidential survey conducted by Energage, the HR research and technology company behind the Top Workplaces program since 2006. The results are calculated based on employee responses to statements about Workplace Experience Themes, which are proven indicators of high performance.
"Earning a USA TODAY Top Workplaces award is a testament to an organization’s credibility and commitment to a people-first culture," said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. "This award, driven by real employee feedback, is more than just a recognition — it’s proof that your employees believe in the organization and its leadership. Job seekers and customers look for this trusted badge of credibility and excellence. It signals a company that values its people, and that kind of culture resonates in today’s competitive market."
This recognition adds to a growing list of local and national workplace honors for BayCare. Most recently, BayCare was named a Tampa Bay Times Top Workplace for the 12th consecutive year, earned a Top Workplace for Frontline Workers award, received multiple national Culture Excellence Awards from Top Workplaces and Energage and continued recognition on Fortune’s Best Workplaces in Health Care™ list.
